Expert picks and predictions for Wednesday’s Timberwolves vs. Mavericks game

NBC Sports Betting Best Bets

Jay Croucher (@croucherJD) likes the home team: Dallas Mavericks -5
“Minnesota’s offense is broken. This line will close higher than -5.”

Drew Dinsick (@whale_capper) is in the hometown Mavs: Dallas Mavericks -5
“Dallas’ two-legged offensive attack and elite rim protection should be enough to take home this number. Under also looks to be value in this game, where Minnesota’s half-court offense is vulnerable.”

Brad Thomas (@MrBradThomas) agrees with Croucher: Dallas Mavericks -5.
“Big moments live for the brightest stars and offenses that are exciting. That’s Dallas!”

Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) plays the role of the contrarian in the group: Minnesota Timberwolves +5
“This is a great buy low on Minnesota after the loss to Atlanta. Dallas has no defense and that’s what Minnesota specializes in. It will be closer than most people think and I expect the Timberwolves to win .”
